CHICAGO Feb. "a The wheat market was
depressed again to-day, and the latest trading
figures were the lowest of the day, and the low
est which nave yet been reached on the present
crop options The speculative offerings were
large throughout the entire day, and centered
more than usual on the more deferred futures
The principal feature Of the market was the
lessening of the premiums on the deliveries be-
yond May, and the reason given for this is that
May ''shorts" have covered freely, and have
again put out large lines for the longer de-
liveries. Public foreign cables quoted quiet
and steady market. but the tone of the private
cables was reported easier. Clearings from
three Atlantic ports aggregated 224, 600 bushels,
and there was fair demand here
Receipts at eleven points were 3d.

1880 for May delivery, and advanced
to 791 q 79ac. on fair buying but from that poin
fell off steadily to 7s4c, where the market rested
at o'clock. During the afternoon further de-
cline of &c occurred and the market closed at
774c. Wheat for September delivery sold at SO
S3ssc and closed at SIC, or 1sc under yester-
days closing figures. Corn was quiet most Of
the day and easier. No new features were de-
veloped, the market acting in sympathy with
wheat to considerable extent The receipts
we're fair, and the shipping demand moderate
for the lower grades. The closing prices were ac
under those of yesterday. Oats ruled heavy
and closed q &c lower than yesterday for the
leading options. Provisions were again active
with the strength in mess pork still being fully
maintained. May delivery opened at SIS 10 aud
ran up to $15. SO, closing at $l5 80. The demand
on shipping account was rather light. Lard de-
clined be per 100 pounds. aud short ribs were
unchanged The leading futures ranged as fol-
lows:
